In addition to its core function, ServiceSG also plays a key role in the development of service delivery talents in the domain. This is achieved through various workforce development programmes such as Short-term Immersion Programmes (STIP), GIG programmes, Structured Job Rotations (SJR), and Talent Attachment Programmes (TAP). These programmes are designed to provide officers with exposure to different service delivery environments and equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in their roles.

Talent Attachment Programme (TAP) and Structured Job Rotation (SJR) - Longer-term developmental opportunities that broaden officers' perspectives and strengthen leadership capabilities through attachments and secondment.
